Hello! Hello! Gosh you guys got busy here early today!
Wonderful to see such motivation and excitement about exercise, water & healthy eating. Amazing what all that can do to a person's psyche.
Amanda, I am SO proud of you for going skating! You sound like you had the best time ever. How you described the rink doing certain songs for certain people, etc..is exactly how I grew up. Talk about flashbacks! You definitely used muscles in your back you never knew you had! Isn't it funny how when we were kids none of that happened and we just went & went & went, day after day? I get tired thinking of all the energy I had back then! I definitely think skates as a reward is an awesome idea! Go for it chicky, those skates will be yours in no time!
Elycia, how has the weekend been? I hope you wre able to get thru your plans this weekend okay with the girls and all. Thanks for starting the new thread, definitely needed it I think. We're a chatty bunch!
Brat, there ya are darlin!!! I was wondering what happened to you. I am so glad you posted just to update and let us know what was happening. Hopefully soon when you have more time to spare you'll be able to chat it up with us!
Caroline!!! I am so glad you came back, I've missed ya woman. You are doing so great, you have alot to be proud of!! 4 pounds is amazing! I'm sure with work and school and everything else doesn't leave much time for extras, just please come by when you can and let us know what you're up to, ok? Just know that we are here to support you and motivate you any way we can to keep you truckin along. You are doing so well, I couldn't be prouder!
Good Afternoon Aqua, hope your day is going beautifully!
Bonnie, ugh, I have pregnant stories coming out of my ears! lol I've been asked if I'm pregnant by people standing in line at Subway TWICE (2 different occasions), by little kids at my kids school, even my own Aunt!...I could go on... point is, I've got a poochy belly, too much weight gained w/ each "real" pregnancy and 3 c-sections to show for it...enter the dancing belly! Ugh! I will be so glad to see most of this thing leave! Thank God no one's asked me if I'm preggers in a few years now, but man, it sure does sting when they have! I hope the girls check ups go alright and they're doing a-ok!
Melissa...2 more days, 2 more days!! You are so close to getting that mat! Woo hoo! You WILL have an amazing week, I just know it! I pray pray pray that your bike is still there! Your salsa sounds yummy, reminds me of football Sundays coming up!!! I can't wait! I'm so ready for all this pre-season stuff to end and get to the good stuff. lol
I am moving pretty slow today girls! Bob really kicked my hiney with that workout yesterday. I am sore from the top of my head down to my tippy-toes! And you guys think I'm joking! I'm not! I slept like a rock last night tho, but waking up today, OYE! His workouts entail using every muscle you've got and boy oh boy am I feelin it today! LOL
I made a decision last night that I am going to add in fruits. I need to try something because this dragging around with no energy is for the birds! I'm going to try adding the fruit in and maybe some grains...maybe make it like a WW Core program typa thing. I just know that I hate feeling like this. Somehow someway my body is rebelling against this strict low carbing and I cannot deal anymore. Its like my body chemisty is different now or something? Weird-o-rama! I'm VERY nervous about doing this, entering a realm of fruits and grains is something I've only done doing a low fat regime...I'm still going to try and keep it lower carbs and see what happens. I hope I am not setting myself up for major failure here, and the scale decides to go the other way. OR, worse yet, my bingeing tendancies come back with a vengeance! That is why I need lc, but man, I am tired of being tired. And miserable. And grouchy. And sleepy! We'll see how it goes. Keep yer fingers crossed!
Have a great day ladies!!!
